More of a question so if this is the wrong forum let me know. I have been looking to see if there is a way to clear/reset some SMART attributes or how to go about it. I am, in particular, looking at 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count as I have a good number of drives that have values there due to misbehaving back planes or bad cables/hba's in the past.

Yes I can track each variable to see if it increases but that gets harder to see/monitor with hundreds of drives. The ability to reset/clear that to zero would be very useful. Likewise other values like 188 Command Timeout.

I know that these can be cleared by the OEM on refurbished drives, as well as I've seen some instances where they can be cleared with certain firmware updates. But have not found any means so far to clear them for general/advanced users.

Vast majority of our rotating rust drives are seagate if that matters (ST4000's though ST20000's) if it's a oem specific type of command.
